Yesterday, I heard my friend got score of 6.5 for his IELTS. It was nice to hear that, cool. How about me? This year, I failed to qualify for the SPIRIT scholarship. I think I will try next year because this scholarship easier than other scholarship requirements, it is devoted for civil servants. This requirement scholarship need score ITP 500. My toefl score was 510 but unfortunatelly I didn’t called the interview.

Although I feel disappointed, but I know it is the best scenario for me. Pursuing dreams is as much about the journey than the destination and the universe tend to have its own unique timing which doesn't always align with plan and wishes. No day is wasted, spendmore time in studying, reading journals and doing other positive activities.

So, for seven months ahead (June-December) I excite to achieve this target:

TOEFL > 550

IELTS > 6,5

TPA > 575

Yesterday I watched youtube. On channel Oxford, student master of public policy from Indonesia who recently graduated college said there was hard work and she studied until 4 am. Wow, even though I am not a target in Oxford but maybe same condition happen in the United Kingdom campus. They are also also equally take master just one year.

I also do not want to lose from Sayaka who can get her dream school, Keio University in Tokyo. Though initially Sayaka academic ability equivalent to 4th elementary school. However, due to her massive effort, Sayaka can go also to the her dream university by studying over a year. Sayaka based on real story in Japan. Sayaka can, I hope Insya Allah can too.
